NIH Strategic Plan
for disease control R&D

We highlight the causes of diseases and develop the knowledge and
technologies needed to overcome them for humankind and future generations.

We will foster a disease-free world by devising effective preventive, diagnostic,
management, and treatment measures for diseases.

VISION

Disease and health research
for humankind and the future generations

Organisation’s Goals

  • Precision Medicine

    Reinforce disease research to
    lead
    precision medicine

  • Chronic Diseases

    Research on chronic diseases
    throughout life to extend
    healthy life years

  • Infectious Diseases

    Bolster R&D competence to
    conquer infectious diseases
    to
    ensure the safety of the public

  • Research
    Infrastructure

    Establish a foundation to produce
    and expand research
    achievements

Strategies

  • Fulfil mission

    To develop scientific evidence for disease management

  • Respond
    to the need

    To conduct basic research to promote public interest and awareness

  • Prepare

    to develop technologies to respond to future disease risks

Fulfil mission

To develop scientific evidence for disease management

  • 01 Establishment a foundation for biobigdata
  • 02 Facilitate scientific evidence-based on clinical intervention and implementation studies
  • 03 Develop technologies to manage legally designated infectious diseases
  • 04 Strengthen research planning and performance

Respond to the need

To conduct basic research to promote public interest and awareness

  • 01 High added values for national public health resources
  • 02 Establish a basic for public health research to conquer chronic diseases
  • 03 Secure technologies that selectively respond to novel and variant infectious diseases
  • 04 Establish a safety network for biological scientific technology

Prepare

to develop technologies to respond to future disease risks

  • 01 Promote precision medicine research and foundations
  • 02 Secure technologies to prevent and manage chronic diseases in preparation for the future
  • 03 Bolster foundation for on-site care (e.g., diagnosis, treatment, vaccines)
